Hi there, Just a few lines to introduce myself and explain why I am on this forum! As a very keen competent amateur I have restored several cars over the years to original specs and show condition. My current modest collection includes several classic Lotus and Alfas. (Sorry, but I did own an SE5A some years ago). I have recently agreed to take on and work the magic on a SS1 belonging to my son - but this is no ordinary SS1(apologies to M&S), this is one of the 4 or 5 converted by Robin Rew and Turbo Technics.
Indeed, a previous owner is an active member of this forum.

Because all of my experience is with Lotus and Alfa, a few obvious questions please:
- does the body come off as a complete unit or is it a case of removing panels? (I ask because, although the main chassis is galvanised, the outriggers and sections below the sills appear not to be)
- any recommendations for a manufacturer/supplier of a soft top?
- any recommends for sources of spares/ (Used Graham Walker back in the day)

Thank you one and all for your replies; I will upload photos soon.
Phil - yes Sir, my son bought the car from your good self; found an original printed advert in the boot.
Old Bean - thanks for the lead but can't find the listing on EBay.
